> This new graffito may not rewrite history, but I am more convinced than ever that an early fall date for the eruption is the one I should use when formulating hypotheses about and interpreting data from the human skeletal remains.

Markets?! We need laws regulating editors. The headline they provide is bullshit.

Changing a date would literally rewrite history without dramatically affecting most historical understandings.

According to the article itself, it either may or may not. So why say anything about it?

True but they get clicks, and make money, so it's never going to change.

Most of these click dependent websites are an unreliable source of news. Better to use youtube, preferably channels that get most of their income from patreon rather than ads. Just put those videos at 2x and get your information while doing other things.
